“Everyone fails at something. You attempt something and it doesn’t go as hoped. Get over it. Napoleon Hill modeled 520 of the richest men in his day and every one of them failed before they succeeded. Some failed BIG and many times! Failure IS part of success. It shapes your mindset and skills. It’s a prerequisite for success. Most people fear it and try to prevent it.

Get over it. Understand the benefits. The Wright Brothers failed countless times before they flew. Edison failed thousands of times trying to get the lightbulb to work. Failure is part of succeeding. If you fear it you’re trying to avoid the very thing that helps you. What you resist, persists. Fearing failure, worrying about it, trying to avoid it keeps it ever present in your mind. That’s not good.

What you think about you bring about. What you focus on you become. If you don’t want to fail, focus on succeeding. Think about making it happen. Dedicate your mind to the positive outcome. Many people fear bankruptcy and think it is the worst thing ever. Those who’ve gone through it understand it’s not the worst. They get through it. Usually, our fears are worse than the experience.

If you want to succeed faster, fail faster. Experiment. Fall forward. If it’s going to happen anyway, stop worrying about it. Accept that it’s part of life and move on. It’s a beneficial detour. Get over yourself and how things must be. Let go of fear. Accept failure for what it is, feedback. You want as much feedback as possible. The reason you don’t like it is because of the education process.

Growing up you got things marked wrong. You were told that was bad and you weren’t good at things. Maybe you were told you weren’t smart enough. You didn’t live up to your potential. You’d never amount to anything or make it. Your dreams were silly, and you needed to get real. You were conditioned to fear mistakes. You learned to fear being wrong and stopped trying hard.

Instead of people saying, ‘hey you got two correct, BRAVO. Well done!’ you were shamed for getting 98 wrong. You developed the habit of feeling bad making mistakes, getting things wrong and failing at trying. You stopped trying so hard. You avoid those experiences because you relive those feelings. You may not even know why, but you just don’t try fully as you once did. It’s conditioning.

It’s a conditioned reaction like Pavlov’ dog. Here’s what you need to know. The Wright Brothers, Edison and all inventors experiment. Things don’t work out. They try something different to make it work. It doesn’t work again. They take the feedback, adjust and try something else. They keep experimenting until they get it working. All anyone can do is attempt to do things.

Discover if they work out. If not, adjust. If they don’t, keep trying. That’s what the Wright Brothers did. They didn’t know how to fly UNTIL after they flew! Once they flew, they knew how and could improve on it. Before that first flight they were constantly failing and getting feedback. Once the lightbulb worked Edison knew how to make a working light bulb. This is how it all works. Get it.

Before that he was failing and getting feedback. Only after it worked could he replicate it. Everyone goes through this. Some go through it more smoothly than others because they’ve learned that failure doesn’t end anything. It isn’t over until you quit. If you give up, throw in the towel, end your efforts then it is over. So, what do you want to do? How do you want to do it? Fail and succeed or quit?

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Remember, what you resist, persists. The more you fight it the more you lose. The more you struggle the less you proceed. It’s like struggling in quicksand. You’ll only get sucked down faster. Relax. Float. Get on your back in quicksand, distribute your weight. Remaining vertical in quicksand or water will drown you. You are naturally buoyant. Use it. You are naturally abundant. You’re built to survive.

You’re built to win. You have an infinite power of awareness, opportunities and resources. You’ve infinite possibilities but they are hidden by the pursuit for cash or other things. Hidden possibilities remain hidden unless you do something with them. Move from what appears impossible to possibility. Then, think, I could do it. Then, tell yourself I can do it. Once you think I can, think I will.

From thinking I will do it, DO IT. Do it until you can say, I did it. It’s done. From impossibility to completion. That’s what great inventors and explorers have done. They stood firm against words of doubt sown by others, even their own self-doubts. They did it anyway. Just as Muhammed Ali trained anyway even though he hated it. Get over your old, conditioned fears and resistance. Keep going.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Every step you take in the correct direction moves you closer. No step is too small. Enough baby steps taken repeatedly, consistently for long enough can take you to the top of Everest. Sometimes, while traveling there are detours, take them and keep on track. You can make anything happen if you positively dedicate your mind to making it happen. Just don’t quit. Then, remember this.

Some things might not ever work. You may not be able to fly without some form of assistance. Okay, but remember, many new benefits were discovered by attempting to do something that didn’t work out but resulted in other successes. Post It Notes. White-Out. There is all sorts of good that comes from pursuing your passion. You may discover other areas of interest that catapult you to success.

Instead of seeking cash seek a higher purpose. Seek to be a person who is honest, compassionate, helpful, kind, friendly, positive, optimistic and has integrity. Let your riches arise from who you are. Get known for being a person of high value and integrity. Get known as a person who is helpful and honest and walks the talk as you pursue your passion. That will get you farther faster.

It will be attractive to the people who can help you. Attract high-vibe people to work for, joint venture with and serve. The better you serve the quicker you move ahead. Who you are determines what you do, how you handle disappointment, failure and feedback, and what you are able to do and acquire. Seek to improve other’s lives and you’ll find riches more readily. Those who seek to benefit the world do great things. Solve problems and add benefits. Make good things happen for all and good things will happen for you. Get this and you get a lot. More next time. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
